A Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) is commonly used in high speed communications to reduce the number of input/output pins and their interconnections. The use of SerDes is to convert the parallel data into serial data and vice versa. Serial transmission is used here to minimize the cost and increase the performance and data rate, hence Ser Des is the right choice. Here, we design and implement SerDes for triple speed ethernet MAC. The designing is done using Quartus II software while it is implemented on FPGA board using Cyclone IV E device.
